How to Sew Handles to a Bag

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Karina Fraley for Expert Village and we are making our little bag and we're just about done. We're going to sew our little straps on just right where we marked them. It's very simple. Go ahead and feed your strap through like that. You're going to hold it with your finger and at this point, I'm going to pull my pin out so that it doesn't get caught on my needle and then just place it right under the needle. Put the foot down, and we're just going to do a very small stitch. Go ahead and do a couple of back stitches to create a knot and just go nice and even. Try to go along your seam line that we did for the trim and then do a back stitch to secure it with a knot and then we cut it. Do the next one. So I'm going to go ahead and pull my pin out, I know where it's suppose to go. Okay, so we're going to go ahead and slide it under and try to find the spot where the stitch is, where we did the trim and try to go along there so that we don't have too many stitches on the other side. So go ahead and stitch and do a back stitch, a couple of back stitches for the knot and then just go the entire width of the strap. When you get to the end go ahead and do a couple back stitches. Pull it out. You're going to have to pull it out this way. "
